Winter Project: ’55 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint
This jewel is another Alfa from a recent stash found by intrepid car-finder Daniel Rapley. We had the pleasure of a personal tour of all of the cars, some already spoken for, and Daniel got most excited by this early Sprint. The Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint started as a stop-gap model until the volume sedan was ready to launch. In 1954, Alfa Romeo commissioned Nuccio Bertone to create the coupé version of the new 1300 with a plan to build a 1,000 units. But at the Turin Motor Show in 1954, 700 reservations were booked.

We don’t feature newer classics to be often but we came across this 458 Ferrari and it spoke to us loud and clear. Probably because if we were to order a new Ferrari we would probably order it the same way. This one is in almost new condition and still being serviced by the original selling dealer. The original price was $276,000 and it is offered now for $239,000. Not a bad discount. It has covered only 6,000 miles with a Factory Warranty until almost 2015. 
We should be suspicious of cars that are described by the seller as “runs like a top.” That can’t be good. We mean comparing a car to a spinning child’s toy that sometimes flies off the table puzzles us. By the way, so do phrases like “take it for a spin”. We thought this Alfa looked really nice in the photos. Well someone added an unusual, very British-looking tonneau that is very un-Italian. We were about to give it a glowing Mint-like paragraph or two and then we got a better look at the engine compartment.
